In front of Fai stood three enemies who had already prepared themselves. The group consisted of two boys and one girl. The girl had green hair that matched the color of her sharp eyes, and she stood firmly in the center. One of the boys was tall and muscular, with short black hair and a powerful frame that made him look dangerous even without activating his mutation. The other boy was shorter, slimmer, and had white hair that fell slightly past his ears. His gaze was calm, but calculating. The moment they realized they were about to be attacked, all three of them took defensive stances.
As Fai approached, the muscular boy was the first to move. He charged forward at full speed, and as he ran, his body began to change. His muscles bulged unnaturally, his arms thickened, and his height increased. His frame grew larger with every step.
"What is this? A growth mutation?" Fai thought in shock.
The mutant rushed toward him like a raging beast, radiating overwhelming pressure.
Instinctively, Fai tried to dodge to the side. That was what he wanted to do. That was what he commanded his body to do. But nothing happened. His body ignored him completely. The System was in control now, and it had its own way of fighting.
A screen suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The information flooded his vision, but it was too sudden and too fast. Fai struggled to read it, but before he could finish, the screen vanished. Everything was happening at a speed his brain could not follow. He could only watch helplessly. It was if he was watching a movie Fast-forwarding .
The System had already made its decision.
Fai's body suddenly ducked, narrowly avoiding the massive punch that swept over his head. Before the enemy could react, his body twisted and launched a powerful punch upward, striking the man directly in the groin.
"Ooh, f*ck!" the muscular mutant screamed as he doubled over, clutching his injured area.
The pain was overwhelming, but the System did not stop there. In the next instant, Fai surged upward with a devastating uppercut, smashing his fist into the lower part of the man's jaw. Boosted by his enhanced strength, the impact was terrifying. Blood sprayed, and the man's head snapped back violently.
Before his opponent could even fall, Fai followed up with a swift kick. His right foot shot forward and slammed into the man's face with brutal force. The sound of the impact echoed through the air as the mutant was thrown sideways. A mixture of blood and saliva flew from his mouth as he stumbled and collapsed onto the ground.
Only then did a notification ring out.
[DING]
Everything had happened in mere seconds. From the moment the screen appeared to the instant his foot struck his opponent's face, it was all over. Even Fai could hardly believe what he had witnessed. He stared at the fallen man in disbelief. The once terrifying muscular mutant now lay on the ground, groaning in pain and unable to rise. And he was the one who had done it—or rather, the System had done it using his body.
Nearby, Sarah and Johnson watched in stunned silence. Their eyes were wide, and their lips were slightly parted.
"What the… I didn't know Fai was this strong," Sarah thought.
The weak underdog she once knew seemed to have disappeared, replaced by someone far more dangerous.
The Auto Fairy Defence skill was meant to show Fai how to fight like a real fairy. That much was certain. In order to achieve that, it made full use of his body, training him through real combat and experience.
It forced him to learn by moving, reacting, and surviving in situations where hesitation meant death. If anyone were to ask Fai about it, he would say that this was probably the most effective training method in existence. Even he agreed with that thought, and right now, the skill was proving its worth.The only downside was its speed. The System was far too fast, even for Fai's brain to follow.
As the fight continued, all Fai could see were blurred movements and flashing images. One moment, he was still trying to understand what was happening, and the next moment, an opponent had already been defeated. On the ground in front of him, a mutant lay helpless, already dealt with in only a matter of seconds.
"Damn… I did that?" Fai thought in disbelief, satisfaction washing over him as he stared at the fallen enemy.
Unfortunately, the feeling did not last long. Almost immediately, his body shifted to the side on its own, narrowly escaping an incoming attack from the girl with green hair. "Woah! What was that?" he asked himself in shock. When he tried to turn his head to look, his body refused to obey. His neck remained fixed, and his eyes stayed locked forward, focused entirely on his opponent. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move freely.
At that moment, a transparent screen appeared before his eyes.

Just like before, the System had activated Fae Eyes, and once again, Fai was unable to read all the information in time. The screen disappeared almost immediately, leaving him frustrated. Before he could even think about it, his body was already moving again, rushing straight toward the girl with green hair and green eyes.
